Chapter 81: To Be a Woman
The next day, there were gongs and drums from the state government to send the wedding list, which was a voucher to the Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, and Wang Xiu obtained the qualification for next year's Ministry of Rites examination. Of course, the roster of their lifters will be sent to the Ministry of Rites for the record, as the main evidence for participating in the Ministry of Rites examination.
As the first to solve the test, Wang Xiu was naturally received by Zhang Bangchang, which was not a casual meal last time, but a very grand reception. Wang Xiu is also reasonable, and the ease of advance and retreat greatly appreciated Zhang Bangchang and Tongju, during which the state government naturally invited all the tribute people to the banquet, and everyone was overjoyed.
For Wang Xiu, what Zhu Rong and Gao Xuan are all loud farts, let them go, there is nothing to reminisce, but Zhang Qiyuan gave him a headache, and this guy is closer to him.
Fortunately, he dragged on for a day, and Zhang Qiyuan couldn't drag the other scholars of Shangshui County, so he had to set off with them.
Although, what is it to become a tribute person, but the mentality was corrected within one day, and he did not get carried away because he successfully passed the examination, deliberately distanced himself from Wang Xiu, and still carefully accompanied Wang Xiu and did his own thing.
I have to say that He Laodao's old way, in He Laodao's calculations, Wang Xiu made a series of amazing achievements in a short period of time, although he is not a person who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, but he is also the only genius he has seen. Coupled with Shen Mo's attention to Wang Xiu, he will never allow his son to do something that gets carried away.
There is also Wang Xiu's personality charm, which cannot but be said to have a deep impact on what is, especially the character of respecting the old and loving the young, which deeply affected him and made him make a decision to follow Wang Xiu.
"Zhu Da shopkeeper." When Wang Xiu was leaving, Zhu Lianqi, accompanied by Zhu Rong, came to visit him and brought rich gifts.
Fifty taels of official silver, twenty pieces of Shu brocade, ten horses of colored satin, two catties of cotton, the gift is not thin! Mian alone is equivalent to half a year from Dr. Taizhong.
"The big shopkeeper is too polite, such a generous gift, how dare you accept it." Wang Xiu had a headache, this is not a joke, there must be a request, he doesn't want to take advantage of favors, and he can't be asked by others.
Zhu Lianqi smiled and said, "This is not my gift, but the order of the young proprietor." ”
"Oh." Wang Xiu was stunned, but he didn't want Shen Mo to do it, so he couldn't help but say: "Brother Zhizhi is far away in Tokyo, but he doesn't know what the mystery is. ”
Zhu Xianqi's fat face was like Maitreya Buddha, he took out a letter from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "The young proprietor entrusted a stagecoach and sent it here, and he just arrived last night." ”
Wang Xiu took it and didn't look at it, but asked Zong Liang to serve tea and invite the Zhu family father and son to sit down.
"This is the young proprietor's special order, let me withdraw the property from the branch, I think the copper money is too heavy, and I took it upon myself to change it for silver and silk." Zhu Xianqi said with a smile.
Wang Xiu opened the letter and swept his eyes when serving tea, and there were only a few words on it: big sales, expensive open paper, in February of next year, Bai Alum Lou and Jun Yan Huan.
This guy is still quite righteous, he put away the letter, and said with a faint smile: "Since this is the case, then thank you to the big shopkeeper." ”
Zhu Xianqi said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated the little official yet. ”
"It's just a solution to Tokyo, why is there any joy? In case the Shangshu Rite Ministry test is won, it will be an empty joy. When Wang Xiu spoke, he glanced at Zhu Rong, but saw the corner of this guy's mouth, and seemed to be very unconvinced. Zhu Lianqi's intention, he knew it well, not only to serve Shen Mo's orders, but also to make friends, but unfortunately Zhu Rong was unbearable, and he might have to live up to his father's hard work.
Zhu Lianqi sighed, glanced at his son fiercely, and said in disappointment: "If the dog has to be a petty official, I will be at ease." ”
Wang Xiu smiled and said nothing, but He Wei raised his eyebrows and said wittily: "The eldest brother is not losing the literary talent, but the luck, and he will definitely pay tribute in the coming year." ”
The corners of Zhu Rong's mouth twitched, and he secretly scolded what is hurtful, but he also had a little comfort in his heart, on weekdays, he and Wanqiu were a bunch of gentlemen, although they were looked down upon by Gao Xuan and other scholars, but they also pretended to be a romantic talent, and they lamented that they were unlucky when they ate and drank together yesterday, but others were unlucky.
After Wang Xiu spoke, he smiled playfully: "Not bad." ”
Zhu Lianqi was a little embarrassed, what kind of character his son was, he still didn't know, bringing Zhu Rong here was to ease the relationship, if his son could have a good relationship with Wang Xiu and He Wei, it would be better to become friends. smiled at the moment: "In a few days, Shopkeeper He will come to Wanqiu, I don't know if the little official can come?" ”
He Wei smiled and said, "Father come over, I will go directly to Kaifeng and wait for the Ministry of Rites to test." However, Uncle Zhu Shi is about to be promoted, and the little nephew congratulates him first. ”
Zhu Lianqi shook his head and said, "It's just to go to the head office to do chores." "In other words, the branch can definitely not be compared with the main store, there is a world of flowers in Kaifeng! Even the five branches inside and outside Kaifeng City are not comparable to the Jinwai branches.
Wang Xiu was a little interested, and said: "The big shopkeeper went to Kaifeng, so wouldn't Brother Zhu Shi want to participate in the liberation test in Kaifeng, or good, there are many people in Kaifeng Mansion every year, and there are many opportunities." ”
That's not a shudder! However, listening to Zhu Xianqi's ears, there is another taste, there are many scholars, and the opportunities for his son will increase a lot, but he never thought that Kaifeng Mansion is full of talents!
Zhu Rong finally had a little smile on his face, and he was a little complacent, Kaifeng Mansion is a flower world!
"By the way, since the petty officials are going to return to their hometowns, I can't keep them, so I will see off the two petty officials in Huixuan Building at night." Since Wang Xiuhe is going to Kaifeng, the coming day will be long! It's good to have a good relationship and say good to him in front of Shen Mo, it would be great to be able to become the big shopkeeper of the branch in Kaifeng City.
He Wei frowned slightly, his eyes turned to Wang Xiu, to be honest, he really didn't want to be too involved with the Zhu family's father and son.
But seeing Wang Xiu smile, he said with a smile: "Then it's better to be respectful, and when you come to Kaifeng in the future, you must not disturb the big shopkeeper." ”
Zhu Lianqi was overjoyed, Wang Xiu was on the road like this, it was cool to talk to smart people, and he said what he should have said, and he immediately got up and said goodbye.
After the father and son of the Zhu family went, Wang Xiu picked up a piece of official silver to appreciate, thinking of the difficult years, and sighed for a long time, this is a full of official silver!
He Wei said very unhappily: "Zhu Rongqi is hypocritical, and Zhu Rong is resentful. ”
Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows, threw down the official silver, and said playfully: "It's just human nature, we have so many things, we can't hire a car by ourselves!" ”
He Wei was stunned, and immediately understood, pointed at Wang Xiu and laughed: "You are so unkind." ”
"Kindness is for old adults." A sly smile flashed on the corner of Wang Xiu's mouth.
Sister Beibei's shop in Shangshui County, Wang Qingjiao is commanding the small house, cleaning the shop inside and out, with Qin Mo Yan helping on the side, and grinning: "Sister, such a big shop, it's too wasteful to just sell sugar." ”
"Go and rest." Wang Qingxiang breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Youqin Mo Yan to the small courtyard, and said, "Sister, what do you think?" ”
"All I can think of is to run groceries." Youqin Mo Yan was a little embarrassed.
Wang Qingjiao raised her eyebrows slightly, and said: "It is certain to operate groceries, but I think it must be distinctive, it is not too expensive, if you have the opportunity, it is best to open the business to Kaifeng." ”
"Kaifeng?" Youqin Mo Yan's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Eldest sister, it will take a few years." ”
Wang Qingchang's face was pale, and she said resolutely: "Sister, if you still don't believe it, I will make an oath that I will live well for myself in this life, and we women must not let men control their fate." ”
"Ahh Youqin Mo Yan pursed his lips and looked at Wang Qingyan in surprise.
Wang Qingwan smiled and said mysteriously: "This is all what the eldest brother said." ”
"Brother said that." Youqin Mo Yan looked surprised.
"yes!" Wang Qingjiao seemed to think of something, leaned to Youqin Mo Yan's ear, and laughed softly: "When the eldest brother comes back, you should also get married." ”
"Big sister." Youqin Mo Yanqiao's face flushed, and she stomped her feet and turned around and ran out.
"This girl, her face is quite thin." Wang Qingxiang smiled and looked at Youqin Mo Yan's back, but found that the little servant Lu Yao was sneaking and peeking, and immediately put on his face and shouted: "Lu Xiaoliu, don't go to work quickly, look for you!" ”xh118
